Examples

So I know I've been telling you I don't live in the best town but today, today I finally have examples for you. My street is okay and I feel safe enough there but see below as to why I won't be walking in the evenings by myself once Isaac leaves.

Example one: Sunday night (between seven and eight pm) I was finishing a movie, Isaac had already gone to bed and I suddenly heard loud voices outside on our front lawn. I let it go on a little bit but started to get nervous that it wasn't going away. So I opened my front door to two drunk (one was rather wasted) people arguing on our lawn. One had actually decided to try to walk down the side of the house as I was opening the door. However, once they saw me they skedaddled. I'm glad I didn't have to get the cops involved and I wasn't hurt but still kinda bewildering.

Example two: Last night Isaac and I were going on a walk and at the end of the block of the street we live on we over heard a conversation that went something like this. One woman standing on the street corner in front of us (no it's not that kind of transaction thankfully) and two young men walking down the street to meet her. Apparently there was a van down a different street waiting to take them somewhere (no idea but I kinda wish I knew). The two young men ask her if the person driving has a license (maybe it's optional?) and she pipes in like it's Christmas morning "Yeah, and he even has insurance too!". Because you know, that's optional.

Pray for me. (I seriously cannot make this shit up).
